“The civil-military leadership has once again proven that all institutions are united for the country’s stability, integrity, and progress,” said Fawad.

Fawad on Tuesday addressed a press conference. “PM Khan is the authority in appointing the DG ISI,” further adding that “all legal methods will be adopted in the appointment of the new director-general”.

It has been a week since Lieutenant (Lt) General Nadeem Ahmed Anjum was appointed as DG ISI, the post previously held by Lt Gen Faiz Hameed.
